this is driving me crazy! how do you get the stupid fruit to appear on the board in time to remove them......i've cleared the whole board with 2 freckles before and only one fruit then appeared right at the very top!! grrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Ok, I did manage to get the fruit to appear. Concentrate on horitonal combinations to get the max to fall across the top. Don't lose focus on trying to get any one fruit to the bottom. Also, the chocolates are blocked by the black squares and the fruit, use that to your advantage. Getting closer!

ccc's tips.1. this level is difficult but this was how i did it.2. aim to clear chocolate at the beginning at least till you have a clear path3. aim to do vertical stripes4. if you don't clear the chocolate enough at the beginning it will fail your game5. at the beginning, aim to burst the rainbow candies as much as possible6. when chocolate is little, aim to do more vertical stripes or stripe/wrapper7. this is because those two can bring the items down directly. wrapper / donut alone not helpful, unless you have donut/stripe.

I think there are too many bugs..I have had situations where it would not allow me to switch candies to make 3 in a row, 1 time I made a switch to match 3 candies and they were not eliminated. I also had a couple of occasions where I made a switch that should have striped the candy and it didn't. I feel this level is impossible to beat until they fix the bugs!

Agree, this level has too many bugs, and they are always near the liquorice. I got one candy only flashing and it only switched location to a candy next to it without making any match, or even an empty space!

I played this level on an iPad. Did ok, took me about a day. Here's the strategy I used.

1) focus only on 1 side of the board, left or right, it doesn't matter. 2) By neglecting 1 side, and letting chocolate built up, the fruits will only fall on one side. 3) Create & use as many stripped candy as possible and quicklyThis forces the fruits to stay on 1 side only. And when you use a stripped candy, you can clear 2-3 fruits at once.

What they mean by bugs is that there are glitches in the game where things go wrong or not the way they should. I haven't experienced any yet, but I hate this level. I seem to get further on my Kindle instead of my pc though. Annoying!!!

I've altogether stopped playing candy crush due to this level. I'll gladly pay a dollar when I know I'll win and need five extra moves, but I refuse to pay for a booster when there's no guarantee. I recommend color zen. It's only 99 cents for the entire app. I made it through all the levels, and patiently need to wait for more.

Sometimes when I do a move that disappears liquorice no candy falls down in the middle, then it does this until I clear all the liquorice which leaves me with an empty line in the middle. On the next move liquorice falls down and fills the middle again. Is this a bug or am I doing something to cause this?

Hi yes I know that but why do I sometimes end up with nothing going down the middle, surely either candy or liquorice should always fall down? I don't seem to do it any differently but sometimes it just stays an empty line in the middle

Ok, I finally managed to clear this level after playing at least 100 times. I hope these tips help:1. The fruits tend to fall from a max of three columns only. (Exceptions might occur)2. Focus on those columns3. Vertical striped candies are you best friends. Try to make them in the identified columns4. Try to combine striped candies with color bombs

I got the same problem when playing on PC which made this level more hopeless than what was intended. :-) But I realised that on mobile version it works as it should and is much more playable, I cleared it after a few tries!

So far, I have not spent one single dime buying a booster. There were hundreds of times where there was only one jelly or one ingredient left in different difficult levels owing to my stupidity or my greed in trying to get more points. I banged my head to the wall several times. It was in fact extremely frustrating at times but I still insisted not to use my credit card because it is a challenge finishing a level without spending. So far, none of the levels were impossible. The ones above who said they wanted to quit please don't. If you could come this far to level 325, you can finish the whole game. Both my brother and my sister finished without spending any money. My brother lives in China so he couldn't even get tickets and lives from FB friends because in China they have no access to FB. With no access to FB friends, you can imagine how difficult it would be to pass an episode without paying. If he could do it, I think you and I can do it too. It's just a matter of time. Be persistent. I spent one night playing this level but didn't get through, so I read the comments from above. Waited another day when I was calmer, and the next day when my luck came, there were a lot of chances for me to make vertical stripes. I passed the game with vertical stripes and one combination of a wrapped & a stripe. The ingredients came with sets. You must finish one set of 2 to 3 to wait for another set to come. Usually them came in one colume so vertical strips work perfectly. While waiting, make stripes. To me, working on one side of the board didn't work as the ingredients came from different columes at the beginning already. I passed this game using my iPhone. Good luck to you all.

I was playing and had just lined up a stripped candy with two other reds when the game ended! it then required a 27 minute wait to play again. This level sucks. BTW, I was not out of moves as I had just started this level.

The usual story, keep plugging at it and you will get the right set of combos in the end. I really thought this one had me beat and then it just all came together and I finished with 8 lives to spare! The only way to get the candies to come down in time is to clear LOTS so I think I had a double wrapped candy big bomb, a spotted ball/stripe combo and quite a few other spotty balls as well and then they came down easily in time. Glad it's over though. Wasn't fun!

I agree with just keep plugging on. After 3 days of constant playing, the board will just give you a starting setup that is poised to win you the level. Keep trying to build the vertical striped candy. Sometimes, you may have to fire off a horizontal stripe which may seem a useless move but a whole row of candies coming down may just make all kinds of combos that will allow you to beat the level. Remember that the game is just a program. Inside its algorithm is a random number generator, much like a slot machine. After several tries, you are bound to win, assuming you are not blowing your moves. A cherry or acorn will only come down after at least one has been cleared, so try to clear then as fast as possible to bring down the next one. If you spend your time building all your combos, you will run out of moves in time to bring all the cherry/acorns down. If it is between clearing the chocolate and bringing down the fruit, bring down the fruit first. In the end, don't stress over it. It will get beat...after all, you didn't get to Level 325 if you didn't know what you were doing. Remember that you are playing against a program that tracks your moves. Eventually, you will beat the level. Just make the right decisions when faced with multiple options.

Its difficult but do-able. I passed after about 50 attempts, passed it again on my wifes game when she got stuck. We kind of play as a team, she does the timed levels for me. As said above dont concentrate on moving down individual ingredients, just keep looking for combo's. Dont give up until the last move. Both times I passed ot was on the last move left.

I got lucky with a good board after about 30 tries. On many of the games played, there were no moves and the chocolate spread to block going forward. On the other hand, sometimes I had almost all chocolate and suddently one move opened up the board.

Keep plugging away. It can be beat. I had striped, wrapped, and candy bombs. PM

I've been stuck on this level for over a week and a half. It's infuriating. I keep getting level arrangements that leave me with no other options than three-candy combos at the top of the screen that do ZERO damage.

When I do get a level that allows me to clear the screen, the fruit simply WILL NOT DROP. I've played this level hundreds of times, and I've literally only seen the 10th fruit appear on the screen at the last minute maybe three or four times.

I've also noticed there is a definite distinction between the way this level plays through the Facebook app versus the way it plays on a phone (I'm playing on Android/Galaxy S3, if that makes a difference). If you create a combo with one of the frozen-flickering rainbow candies on the phone app, the candy won't break, but you'll unfreeze it and the chocolate underneath will break. If you create the same combo through Facebook, however, not only does the chocolate underneath NOT break, but another chocolate will grow. Ugh.

I may need to quit this game if I don't get relief soon. And if it's buggy, King better fix this.

♥ Had better luck on the app than the PC/Facebook version. I tried both and with the Facebook/PC version, I wasn't getting anywhere. On the phone, it worked well because there was more cascades and combos.

LOL Becca, I see apples and cherries...no hazelnuts...I am frustrated with the fruit coming too late..even when I've had board with no chocolate early, the combos are not there strangely!! I'll plug away..didn't get this far without getting thru some hard levels....takes me back to some of the combos needed to make orders that seemed impossible..but got there. Broke thru walls that did my head in...will do this too.!!

If u play on yr iphone, u can get 5 lives by going to settings and moving the clock forward...I move it one month forward (but u must move it at least 3 hours minimum not to screw up the wait time for new lives)...then go back to game..5 lives appear..BUT BEFORE U START PLAYING.. GO BACK TO SETTINGS AND PUT TIME BACK ON AUTO..then u can go play...yr clock resets to normal...don't know if this is a good or bad thing cause i can play for TOO MANY HOURS lol

Ugh, losing patience.... so tired of this level. I can't focus on just one side because there are no available moves and the nuts and cherries come down both sides. There are never good moves, over and over again I'm just moving pieces around that do no good at all. Enough torture!

Made it at 10th attempt on android phone. Just kept clearing chocolate on both sides to give room to make vertical stripies and the cherries fell on both sides as I was doing this. However the nuts only fell one at a time after I had dropped the cherries. I had to drop one nut for the next one to appear and so on and they all dropped in the same column. just made it on the last go.

Thank you to those who said have patience it can be done...it can. Although I tried the advice given it wasn't just one method that did it for me...it was a combination of them all plus SPEED! You must move as quickly as possible. This level isn't for the faint of heart. Be encouraged...it's just a game!sigh5

Worst level ever! If the game didn't take so long to reload, I wouldn't have to waste my time playing an obviously losing board that's going nowhere. At work it loads fast so I can just reload and not bother playing out a losing board (which most of them are, unfortunately... or so far ALL of them are.) I see no hope, been here forever. I just want to move on. Why do they have to take the fun out of this game sometimes? Being stuck so long is not fun. Extra moves friends send don't help either; in fact they seem to guarantee a real bad board so they are a waste too.

All these tips SOUND good, but I never get any options. There will be one possible move usually each time, and usually a move that does not help anything. Forget about making bombs and all that... no options. I can't stick to one side as the only moves will be on the other side. I've wasted so much time moving the pieces around that do nothing. SO frustrated!

stuck for days. most times the chocolate just locks you in. the rare times I get close, the last couple of ingredients are nowhere in sight. I have got this far, but the other levels could be hard but this is not doable!!

I agree. I think they have decided to not let me through this level. Still my friends have gotten through, but not sure if they had to buy something to do so. :( I am bummed that they won't let me through, but I really can't stand playing this level anymore.

I just had a series of color bombs, and even THEY did me no good. I don't think there's any way out of this level unless they decide to let you out. So much for strategy, LOL, it's an illusion. You can't control anything on this level, you get what you get, and most of it useless anyway. Chocolate will swallow any possible lucky moves, or the board will reshuffle. I would like it if there were an actual way to win on every board if you made the right moves... knowing there IS a way to win would help! They don't give you a way to win, not really. You just keep playing till you think eventually you'll be dealt the right moves.

Don't worry about the chocolate so much and just work to get the ingredients off the board. Once you clear an ingredient, another one will come down on your next turn, guaranteed. It is the only way I was able to get ingredients to spawn. I would do a striped/disco ball combo and destroy the whole board, and 1 ingredient would come down. Just wasn't worth the effort. Once I noticed that ingredients were coming regardless of how many candies I was clearing, I changed my strategy and focused solely on bringing each candy down. Beat it after only a couple of plays then.

Congrats to those who have gotten through this horrible level! As far as the tips.... I wish!! You all sound like you have actual "options" as far as moves to make. If only I could choose to just focus on bringing down the fruit, or create a vertical stripe and bomb, etc. No, I usually only have one possible move, sometimes two, and they are not helpful moves. I can't control anything but play the ridiculous moves I'm given, over and over again. So what does it really take, 100, 200, 500 plays and some people get lucky? I'm still waiting for that lucky board, but I don't know how much longer I can stand playing this level.

wow wow wow. This has been the hardest level so far. Stuck on it for weeks and most times not even getting close. I don't believe I won using skill, I just got a lucky board. But don't give up because it can be beaten without boosts. Don't get distracted by the chocolate and try to do moves that make cascades. Good luck, keep going xx

Why doesn't the fruit come down? I find that the vast majority of times, the 10 fruits are never all on the board, even if I were lucky enough to have a decent board. Cannot ever hope to win if the "required" items are not there! This level requires no skill, just plain dumb luck. Think I might finally be over Candy Crush!

I've been stuck on this one so long I really can't stand playing it anymore. It's not fun at this point. I'm going through the motions like an addicted fool, but not even enjoying it, actually glad when the game ends again because I can see there's no way to win each time anyway, but takes too long to reload to end each game. I guess this might be the level that cures me of my Candy Crush addiction, which might be a good thing actually. Just a bit too much now. It IS supposed to be fun, no?

I read all the comments on this level and after a day of trying I found the level frustrating as many others. However I was interested in the idea of working on one side only. I found this a success on my second attempt. The cherry and hazelnuts all came down the one side and as long as you push the chocolate away and have moves it worked with moves to spare. To the people who think they should give up DON`T STOP TRYINGGood luck

I just passed this very difficult level without boosters, in 2 days, 8moves to spare, 3 stars, and numerous attempts whew! I tried the tip to focus the ingredients in one side only but did not work as some moves need some candies in the other half. Moves i did:1. Ingredients come in 3 or 4's. i placed these ingredients together or adjacent columns and wrapped + stripped combo finished them.2. Wrapped candy is of no use unless it is a combination with a stripped. 3. When ingredients go down in 1 column, do your best to form wrapped + stripped combo at the top of the ingredients to bring them down. 4. Do not waste moves eliminating chocolate. These moves can be used to bring down the last ingredient.5. If you allow one side to be covered with chocolate, no ingredient will come down there. Chocolate can not cross licorice or frozen candies. 6. The last ingredient, by the way does not come down until after you have finished bringing down the 9th ingredient. Focus remaining moves on that. Good luck everyone!-LEI

This one definitely takes some strategy. First, clear the chocolate as quickly as possible. Given the 3 colors, it's generally pretty easy to get a fruit to the bottom. Stay on one side if possible. This provides a number of benefits, your fruits will only fall that side, chocolate won't accumulate as you'll be breaking it up and your fruit will somewhat clustered, so you can take out multiples with one striped shot. Also, the last few fruits only seem to appear sequentially. So, you need to get the 8th off the board before the 9th appears, get the 9th before the 10th appears. So, if you look like you are running out of moves, don't give up - it's really the speed at which you get rid of the fruit.

I don't think there is a big secret to getting the candies to fall except just clearing a high volume of candies often. I beat it with five moves to spare by clearing the wrappers off of the rainbow candies with a horizontal striped candy (that was just luck, really because its hard to get a stripe with so little to work with up there!).

Then I managed to get two striped/wrapped combos (the first one was early in the game so it cleared the entire left side of chocolate and some licorice). After that I swapped a speckled and a striped about three or four times (not entirely luck...I was looking for opportunities to make a speckled while still concentrating on vertical moves that would drop the ingredients, vertical moves next to the licorice and whichever moves would keep the stupid chocolate at bay).

So I think it just takes a good board but also some skill at making speckled candies.

Aim to smash chocolate for first 5 or 6 moves, attack liqurice from the top to get sweets in center, make bombs, fluke wrappers, if you make a jelly bean combo quickly it will open up the board. From here you will either get stuck or mad stuff will continue to happen. If it goes quiet at this stage don't give up because it can suddenly go mad and you will drop 5 ingredients at once. Then you will have 5 moves at the most to get the final one. Other than that it's pure luck.

this level is just annoying now! on my tablet it tells me I have no more moves and clearly I see moves. then it does not shuffle the board and cancels the game...I think I may just start playing games that are more satisfying for my brain...

I was on this level for about a week, playing maybe an hour a day. Frustrating! Never got closer than 8 of 10, and there were a lot of glitches like stripes not taking out chocolate / licorice / candies like it should have. Seemed to run better on the iphone rather than the computer. Then I get the 'quiz' popup: Rate this level - from 'boring' to 'whooo-hooo!'. I gave it a very low (boring) score and tried once more. It was amazing - automatic combos at every other move, lots of color bombs created spontaneously, some next to stripes.... won with 3 stars, over 220,000. Coincidence? I'm just glad to be past this one.

Can this level be cleared ? This is the most boring level yet ,its impossible to clear ,how long do I need to wait until I get a decent board to give a chance of clearing ? I give up now ,its sad to get to 325 and come up against a level like this .. HELP !!!!!!!

If that screen I just played was a boxing match, the ref would have called it off with several rounds to go. Chocolate sweet and stripey, double wrappers, wrapper stripey, the lot time after time. And at the end I still had 3 at the bottom of the screen and one hadn't even appeared yet. No I'm not going to give up - we're on Level 325 after all so we must be fairly 'committed' to this game - but I've been doing this level for ages now and am simply not enjoying it. I know eventually I will pass it, but would like to have a 'chance' for most attempts. Also doesn't inspire me for what's to come. Rant over and on with the game!

Seriously ,,,,I have used over 100 life's so far trying to clear this level and have came no where near , is there something I'm not doing ,is there a special trick ,I really like candy crush but this level is to date the most frustrating ,I have more shuffles than moves and end up quitting the game because the chocolate takes over and makes it virtually impossible to make a decent move ... I find myself swearing at the screen ,so come on candy crush give a menopausal woman a break here PLEASE !!!!#thatisall

After a frustrating night playing candy crush and level 325 I gave up and tried again this morning , I have came the closest so far in clearing this level ,I got down to 4 .... is this as good as it gets .... help ma baob

Far too many issues on this level. Firstly, I had choc ball which was blocked in by chocolate, so there was no move on the whole board i could make, I had to quit. I cleared another board with 2 choc balls and not one single ingredient came down!!! I cant figure out why some moves eliminates liquorice yet when i match up candies and eliminate them candies dont come but the box stays emptyIf I mix a striped horizontal and vertical, the horizontal does nothingI have had some great boards to start with, cleared the chocolate and have a few ingredients down and then all my moves become useless pointless moves at the top of the board. Just getting so sick of it now.

I read every single hint, after trying this level for a week. What finally worked was using vertical striped, as the fruits all came down in the same two columns, one at a time. Clear the fruit as quickly as you can. Pay no attention to chocolate, as it just blew up on its own. I wound up getting all the fruit, in the same two columns, on right side.

well, after 3 weeks hundreds of lives..i finally got it tonight with 2 moves left...then the @#$% screen froze after the whooooooooooosh "Sugar Crush"!!! i got that perfect board..but it did not count..how do i get them to give me credit??? i really do noy have the patience to do this one again

I thought some of the other levels were pretty hard and frustrating but at least you had some sort of chance at winning...this level is impossible. First, even if you clear all the chocolate and licorice squares, the fruit won't drop, even if you keep blasting striped candies. And then the board only gives you moves in the upper right or upper left so the chocolate can take back over. Heck, why didn't they throw in some of those exploding timed bombs for extra fun? This is way past anything remotely challenging or fun...they completely blew it on this level.

This level is the worst yet, Ive read all the stategies and to no avail. When I get wrapped and stripes they explode for no apparent reason, also the last two fruits never appear on the board. So frustrating, could be the end for me.

After reading all the suggestions the first one I tried was the focus on one side of the licorice and most of the candies will fall on that side and only work on getting them down. I used very little special candies, but did utilize the striped ones when needed and the colored dot one and it worked. Got it on the first try after the tips. Just getting that choc and rainbow on the one side out of the way and you can make your moves. Some times you do end up going on the other half some but try and ignore as much of the other as possible.

Thanks to the developer of Level #325 I finally came to my senses - wasting time and spending too much $$. Now spending $$ at Starbucks and FREE AT LAST FROM CRUSH! If it were possible, I would even spend a few bucks but level 325 doesn't even let you get close to finishing.

I have been playing level 325 on updated iphone 5First day before reading post the best I could was 3 to 4 left not brought down. Today I read all the post. ENT back and retried used all 5 lives. On the last try I had got all but 1 cherry down. Quite a improvement over yesterday. Couldn't believe working 1 side of board over the other would work. But I trusted the post because they don't let me down. It would have been real easy and was tempting to pay for the extra moves but I am assured in my mind I will get it very soon. I did have to occasional switch to other side of the board as there wereno other moves but the one side board strategy is a very great strategy. Thank you to all that suggested it and thank you to all of the others that have offered great tops/strategy to allow me to continue playing to this level.

As far as crashes I had to stop playing to answer the door I had 17 moves left and when I returned to the game under 5 min time it opened to my 17 moves and instantly closed and restarted me to a new game.

That is unacceptable Candy Crush makers please step up to the plate and correct these and numerous other problems.

Yep this is impossible. The last 1 or 2 candies dont fall or the strips dont clear at times. Not sure if its a bug or just that difficult. I swear ive played over 50 lives in the last 3 days. Not sure how much more I can take.

level 325.....waste of time and I love this game! You never see all of the fruit.....I have been down to just one left with moves but never saw the fruit. Really sucks when a level takes weeks! Really takes the fun out of it. Guess I have to wait until I magically get the board that makes it easy.

you know all I can say is after reading countless replies on different attempted strategies is you are all full of crap on each one of them. making single combinations either vertical or horizontal does not cause fruit to come down. Yes creating vertical candy stripes does help but because the game is random trying to direct those pieces is pretty near impossible due to the fact that you can't control what pieces are going to fall next. working just one side of the board doesn't work either given the fact that moves aren't always going to be available on just one side of the board. trying to clear the rainbow changes right away also doesn't work the you'd like it to either. As for the whole bug or no bug issue I cannot say. I would be willing to say that this level does manage to find a way to screw you over at the very last move. Like my first try I got all but one fruit and only needed one move to have beaten it but was outta moves. our I've had it to where I could get a fruit todrop with one move and a chocolate piece gets in the way. it's very frustrating

Thanks to all these comments because I just cleared the level, but a lot by luck. I played more than 200 time!

This is what I did.

If I can't get to the bottom and clear most of black candies in center and chocolate after more than 15 moves, just quit cause it's useless to continue.

First 6 candies drop easily but it's important to drop them down first so next one comes out.

Last 2 can appear almostly at the same time, but by that time no more moves left, but I was just lucky when I moved anything, suddenly sprinvked candies were beside each other, even I only created one of them, the other just appear by chance.

There were times I made a lot of combos like sprinkle/stripe more than 3 times, stripe/wrap combo more than 4 times in one game but last one didn't fall because I think you need to drop down 8 or at least 7 to make it appear. It's useless to make combo if ingridient are 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, cause you need moves to make combo than making vertical candies,

Or may be game has a setting like when it was down by combo, it won't appear soon. Not sure.

Normally there are likely columns that ingredients to fall. So making vertical stripe candies around the place is useful, but horizontal stripe candies helped me to clear chocolate and if ingredients are almost at bottom, the bottom horizontal candies made it go down, and next ingridient appeared at the top.

My eldest daughter cleared it twice for fun, so I think it's not only a luck but also foreseeing ahead which ability I don't possess. I asked her if she made sprinkle/stripe combo, she said only once, and no other combos she used.

This level is so disheartening. I've been playing Candy Crush for months now and although I'm not too liberal about it, I spend money on boosters once in a while even though once you get past a certain point, boosters aren't really all that helpful (on iPad anyway). I wish you could engage a booster when you choose rather than have them uselessly drop right at the start of the game. I quit buying them because of this. Now I've been playing this level for long enough that I've lost interest. If it were "challenging" and I could see that I was "almost there" more often, I'd keep trying. This level is just so random and relies on the luck of the draw to such an extent I might stop playing altogether. I know I'm going to stop for at least a week because it's stopped being fun. I have a feeling that the levels after this are just going to be more of the same with a few easy levels thrown in between. : (

There are definitely bugs on some levels of this game and this level is no exception! I notice the video shown here the player makes a bomb and is able to make multiple moves without the chocolate getting to it. It's impossible! I've made up to 3 bombs in a game and if I don't use them the chocolate gets to it and I loose the bomb. Very frustrating!!!

This level frustrated me for a long time. On many attempts I didn't managed ha;f the orders on the screen before I ran out of moves. And often I was overwhelmed by chocolate before I hardly got started. I reminded myself that even with the best strategy in the world, you can only play with cards you are dealt and I shouldn't expect it to be easy at this high level.

Obviously try to get striped/square candy combinations wherever possible and keep trying!! Eventually after many attempts, and with luck, I managed it with 1 move left...yay!!

I am now on level 432 so trust me, it can be done! I went back to 325 trying to remember how I won. Instead of working only one side at a time, I concentrated on joining the two sides. When you move a black stopper out of the way it fills in with candy. Hard to explain but moving it to the left or right side to make a match really helped me. It gives you the entire board to work with trying to make all the special candies to help you win. Good luck and don't give up, you can do it!

This is the most difficult level yet. I was stuck on this for about a week. Best tip I can give is keep to one side and try to get the vertical stripes. Very frustrating but persevere and you WILL conquer!

Yeah !!! I have finally passed this awful level after spending years trying ..well it seemed like that anyway .. ! I play on both my phone and desk top and tonight when I played on my computer they had altered the level so instead of dropping liquorice down the middle and sometimes leaving a gap, it had changed to meringue ! I beat it on my second go. I logged on my phone and it was still liquorice , hope this has changed for everyone ...good luck !

Seriously, this is the first time I want to give up on this game. There have been other shit levels, but this surpasses what has gone before. It's not even exciting, it's just tedious and boring. That's all!

This is by far the most frustrating level sofar. I never was stuck for over a day or 2, but this level is taking me over a week now. I quit when I waisted 20 moves without any fruit being down. I found no bugs, but I sometimes want to throw my phone through the window (20 times in a row), it is damn frustrating and so useless to make 15 combos without anything going down. I read every single post here and I'm gonna focus now on vertical stripes only on 1 side of the game. Let's see how I end up!Good luck from the Netherlands!

It's amazing! The 2nd try after my post and the tips I got from this forum I finished this level! I tried to focus on one side but that didn't help me, because I had fruits on both sides. I got so many stripes and wrapped candies I was able to bring them together, so after 10 moves I had a 'chocolat free field'! I also got the "disco" candy 3 or 4 times. The only tip I have: keep on trying, you will finish it at the end, because there will always come a 'lucky turn' with lots of striped, and wrapped candies. But I do agree with most people, this is a frustrating level.

Must play this level on the computer...NOT the phone. Couldn't do it for two weeks on my Droid. Got on Facebook and passed it in two tries. In Facebook, the middle column is FROSTING, and there are no chocolate generators.

This is the most ridiculous level ever. Forget about playing on iPad - you cannot even get any striped candies. On the PC, you can get lots of combos and chocolate balls, but no matter how many cascading effects I have, the ingredients just don't come down. What is the point? Even boosters won't help. Totally ridiculous. I know that with many levels you just have to keep playing until you get lucky, but I can't even come close with this one.

Level 325 is the buggiest level in the game. I have played it 50x and regardless of strategies used - on the last move from 1-5 ingredients do not populate the board.

I would suggest that everyone write a review about this level at the App Store. I've also emailed King and they sent me two canned answers thus far. They need to fix this level so that at minimum - all ingredients populate the board by the final move. BTW, I play on both the iPad & iPhone.

This level is a straight set up! I have been playing this level for several weeks and I just can't get all the fruit down. Sometimes they all come down, sometimes they don't. I just don't see any way to beat this level. And they don't even give you any good combinations.

Thank Goodness!! Recent update made it possible for me beat this level. Now you get a free booster. Didn't need it really cause the fruit was falling like rain. Now to continue my Conquer Candy Crush Journey!!

Guys, I did it. I beat 325.I am a CCS junkie. I got my very first smart phone EVER in early September, so that tells you how often I play to be at 325 at the end if November.If ever there was a level to make me quit, this one was it.But it happened. Just now. I am numb.No special tricks, no plan. Just trying over and over again until the CCS Gods smiled upon me and made it happen, with 4 moves to spare.Don't give up.

I only play on Ipad and not connected to FB and there are definitely bugs with the ipad app on this level. Countless times I've seen stripped/wrapped combos not break through the chocolate or the licorice, and the fruit doesn't fall. I rarely buy boosters but after playing this level not less than 200 times I finally had enough because this level is sooooo boring! Just now I ran out of moves but all the accorns were done and 3 cherries, and I could see the remaining 2 cherries at the second and third bottomo rows, so I bought 5 extra moves and used 1 lolly pop to finally get all those down. I suggest you do the same. Just buy the boosters and get it over with! It gets so tedious after a while and is such a waste of time. Hope the developers fix this level, what is the point of playing with strategy to create combos if they won't work!

Omg someone please explain this to me lol I see on this blog page it shows a video for the old version of level 325 and a new one well hmmm how come even after updates and no new updates do I still have the old level version with the square black pcs in the center ??? I have tried this level so many times and no matter how I do it I can't pass it this is nuts !!

playing on PC through Facebook...I have a line of Disco Candy blocking chocolate. I have chocolate generators. The fruit will not fall. I am clearing the chocolate easy but the fruit will not fall I still have at least 4 fruits left when I run out of moves...why all the different versions?

LEVEL 325 PLEASE READ I THINK IT COULD HELP YOU.After trying many days without coming even close to finish it, I read all of your comments and tried a few things. Here is how I got it after that the first time on my pc. 1- try to get rid of the candies with gelatine. At the same time try to look in which columm your ingredients falls from. 2- then try to get rid of a lot of chocolat with strips candies of others. It is NOT THAT IMPORTANT while your are getting rid of the chocolat to try to get the ingredients to fall down at the bottom, not at this stage anyway. trust me. Getting rid of a lot of chocolat should take 3 or 4 moves.3-then what I did is to control at a certain point the chocolat(but not that much) and to make stripe candies,wrapped candies or others. The thing is that if you only focus on triying to make your ingredients fall you will fail for sure. What i did is that i accumulated some ingredients on the board and then made them fall all at the same time with special candies. What worked the best for me is to let my ingredients pile together and then use all of the special candies i could. The stipped and wrapped combo is the best. When you succeded in making a bunch of ingredients fall with the special candy then focus only on making new ingredients appear on the board by matching only 3 candies together on rows that you saw ingredients falling at the begginning. And do the same thing, make special candies without taking them right away. Wait until you have all of the ingredients on the board to take those candies. The chocolat was for me not to hard to keep under control because you only have to focus on the rows that the ingredients falls from.I know it sounds hard when you read this but read it more thant once to make sure you undersand and try again. I wish you luck.

I am extremely happy, after at least 200 tries I did this level (but on the PC...on the phone I was always far far away of even looking al all the ingredients on the screen, maximum I saw 8 of 10). I read all the comments and thanks to everybody here....all of you helped a lot. Regards.

omgX5 . . . this level was the most difficult yet. but in the end i advanced with the following strategy. focus on eliminating all the chocolates first. then get as many stripers and disco balls as possible and the fruit will come to you. it worked, after a week and countless tries, it worked. finally . . . be the fruit, don't let the fruit be you :)

thanks to all the helpful hints i was able to pass this on the first try! Especially Cybelle's! i always appreciate all the comments and thank all who leave them, it makes the game much more enjoyable!

Not that difficult. have to make sure chocolates don't eat up the board. Vertical stripes are the best. After trying for about 6 hours (say 15 tries) - I got to within 1 ingredient and fortunately it was right at one row below the bottom. had a lollipop bomb smasher from the daily free gift and made it. i also got 4 color bombs in the game which helped me. Keep trying and it will happen.

I agree ! It's hard to achieve a goal when no fruits are available to collect. It's obvious you will achieve the goal when candy crush gods decide to give it to you. There's no skill to this game. It's only based on the number of times you try. I now know why so many quit .

I think the new version is even harder, because you need to get 6 of each and the blocks can be used to your advantage sometimes. This is the ultimate gold-digger level for King. I'm not paying them just for a chance to get past it. I've seen a lot of these videos online, and they really just show how someone got unbelievably lucky, or how they used boosters to get past it. I'm done.
